Andrew H. Tarsy, former regional director of the Anti-Defamation
League in Boston, has told Lawyers Weekly he will be joining the
leadership team of Facing History and Ourselves.

The Brookline-based educational organization focuses on preventing
prejudice by teaching about the Holocaust and other examples of
genocide.

Tarsy left the ADL in December, following a year in which he was
fired and then rehired by the league. He had been critical of the
national ADL’s stance on the Armenian genocide. Widespread objections
to his termination resulted in Tarsy’s return to his post as regional
director, but he resigned a few months later.

Tarsy told Lawyers Weekly that his exact title at Facing History and
Ourselves had not yet been determined. He voiced enthusiasm about
being part of an international educational organization that is doing
what he said are "amazing things."
